The right Shopify local delivery and pickup app depends on your store. If you deliver locally or offer pickup, especially from more than one location or with your own drivers, start with ScrollEngine, our app: slots, pickup, routes, drivers and tracking in one app. The other four apps on this list each cover part of that job: Zapiet, Pickeasy and Bird schedule pickup and delivery, and EasyRoutes plans routes.
Find your store type in the table below, then read the section for it. If you want every feature side by side instead, see our feature-by-feature comparison.
Your store type at a glance
| If your store is… | What you need | How ScrollEngine handles it |
|---|---|---|
| One store, starting scheduled pickup | Bookable pickup times with a limit per slot | Pickup slots with a per-slot and daily capacity, and ready-for-pickup messages |
| Bakery, cake shop or florist | Prep time, cut-offs, blocked dates and slot limits | All four per location, plus routes and photo proof if you deliver yourself |
| Grocery or specialty food with your own drivers | Delivery windows, capacity per window, routes that respect them | Slots with a capacity, routes for several drivers, proof of delivery and tracking in one app |
| Several stores, pickup and delivery | Each order at the right store, with per-store zones, hours and slots | Location rules by ZIP, zone, radius or priority, and a store finder with drive distance and time |
| Delivery-heavy, picker already installed | Routes that read the slot the customer booked | Slots and routes in the same app, so nothing is re-keyed between apps |
| Mostly shipping, some local orders | One choice of delivery, pickup or shipping in the cart | A method chooser in the cart for local delivery, store pickup or shipping |
The 5 apps on the shortlist
Competitor details below are from each app's own pages, checked October 4, 2026.
ScrollEngine (our app)
Listed as Local Delivery + Pickup Date:S. Customers choose delivery or pickup in the cart, pick a store from a store finder with drive distance and time, and book a date and slot from that store's calendar, with the capacity you set for each slot. The same app plans routes for your drivers, runs the driver app with photo and signature proof, and sends tracking links by email, SMS or WhatsApp.
- Pick it if: you deliver locally or offer pickup, run your own drivers, have more than one location, or want pickup and delivery on the same slots and settings.
- Track record: 2,000+ merchants trust us (as of Oct 2026), and 100+ merchants rate us 5.0 stars on the Shopify App Store (as of Oct 2026). Serving merchants since 2021.
- Plans: paid plans, each with a free trial of 7 days.
Zapiet
A long-standing scheduler for in-store pickup, local delivery and shipping.
- Strong at: one picker across pickup, delivery and shipping, and plans for up to 100 locations (Professional).
- Where ScrollEngine goes further: routes and a driver app in the same app. For those, Zapiet's route optimization page points to partner apps such as Onfleet, Shipday and EasyRoutes (checked Oct 4, 2026).
- Beyond Shopify: Zapiet's own site says "Zapiet is Shopify-only" (zapiet.com, checked Oct 4, 2026). ScrollEngine integrates with Shopify, Adobe Commerce, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and other platforms.
- Pricing: plans by locations and monthly orders. Prices, sourced and dated: Zapiet vs ScrollEngine.
Pickeasy
A scheduling app by Logbase for delivery and pickup dates and time slots.
- Strong at: a free plan for one location and up to 10 orders a month, and low-cost paid plans.
- Where ScrollEngine goes further: route optimization, a driver app and live tracking in the same app. Logbase's own comparison page says "Pickeasy doesn't offer fleet management or last-mile delivery" (checked Oct 4, 2026).
- Pricing: a free plan up to 10 orders a month, then plans by number of locations. Prices, sourced and dated: Pickeasy vs ScrollEngine.
EasyRoutes
A route planner by Roundtrip that builds optimized routes from Shopify orders.
- Strong at: route planning for Shopify orders, with routes created automatically on a schedule on its Premium plan.
- Where ScrollEngine goes further: delivery and pickup slots built in. EasyRoutes reads delivery dates from a separate date-picker app, such as Roundtrip's Supertime or Zapiet, per its FAQ, and its help center says "in-store pickups aren't a native feature" (checked Oct 4, 2026).
- Pricing: a free plan for one driver and 50 orders a month, then plans per driver seat. Prices, sourced and dated: EasyRoutes vs ScrollEngine.
Bird
A pickup and delivery scheduler with plans by order volume and number of locations.
- Strong at: pickup and delivery scheduling across one to twenty locations, with a widget in more than 90 languages.
- Where ScrollEngine goes further: routes, a driver app and live driver tracking in the same app. For routes and drivers, Bird's integrations page lists partner apps such as EasyRoutes and Shipday (checked Oct 4, 2026).
- Pricing: plans by monthly orders and number of locations, from a free plan for 10 orders a month.
Shortlists by store type
One store, new to scheduled pickup
Shopify's built-in pickup in store lets customers choose a location and shows a processing time you set, and it sends a Ready for pickup email when you mark the order ready. What it doesn't do is let customers book a time slot or cap how many pickups land in one hour. ScrollEngine adds both: pickup slots with a limit per slot and per day, a store finder, and a clear flow from preparing to ready to picked up, with a ready-for-pickup message. When you start delivering too, the same slots and settings carry over.
Set up on day one: your store hours, a preparation time, and one limit per slot that matches the staff on the counter.
Bakeries, cake shops and florists
Your constraint is production, not distance. Every order needs to be made before its slot, so the settings that matter are preparation time, a daily cut-off, blocked dates and a hard limit per slot. ScrollEngine has all four for each location. If you also deliver with your own van, it plans the route, gives the driver an app with photo proof, and sends the customer a tracking link, all from the same slots. Scheduling apps such as Pickeasy and Bird list prep times and order limits as well. For the drive itself, Logbase says Pickeasy "doesn't offer fleet management or last-mile delivery", and Bird points to partner apps such as EasyRoutes.
Plan ahead for peaks such as Valentine's Day and Mother's Day: lower slot limits, add blackout dates and open extra slots early. Our holiday delivery capacity guide walks through it.
Grocery and specialty food with your own drivers
Grocery orders are time-sensitive and heavy on routes. You need delivery windows that customers can trust, a capacity per window so drivers aren't overbooked, and routes that respect those windows. This is where one app saves the most work: in ScrollEngine, route optimization can use the slot the customer booked as that stop's time window (route constraints depend on your plan), and the customer gets a tracking link with a live ETA. The two-app version is Zapiet for slots plus one of its routing partners, with two plans and two sets of locations to keep in sync.
Retailers with several stores
The questions change: which store serves this address, does that store stock the item, and does each store have its own pickup hours? ScrollEngine answers all three. Location rules (by ZIP, zone, radius or priority) send each order to the right store, each location keeps its own zones, hours and slot limits, and the cart can warn or block pickup at a store that doesn't stock an item. The store pickup finder shows drive distance and time. More on this in multi-location delivery and pickup.
Delivery-heavy stores that already have a date picker
If your picker works and the pain is planning the day's drops, the weak point is the hand-off: the date and slot your picker saves on the order have to be fields your router can read, or someone re-sorts orders every morning. ScrollEngine removes the hand-off by keeping the slot and the route in one app, so you can retire the second app. Our routing apps comparison shows how the route planners compare.
A one-week trial plan
Most of these apps offer a free plan or trial. Use it on real settings, not the defaults:
- Day 1: install, add one location, and set its hours and delivery zones.
- Day 2: create delivery and pickup slots with prep time, a cut-off and a limit per slot.
- Day 3: place test orders on a phone as a customer, including an address you don't serve.
- Day 4: fill a slot to its limit and check what the next customer sees.
- Day 5: run the pickup flow: mark an order ready and check the customer's message.
- Day 6: if you deliver, build a route from the day's test orders and run it in the driver app.
- Day 7: list what you had to do by hand. That list is your decision.
To test ScrollEngine this way, the delivery date picker page shows what customers see in the cart, and paid plans start with a free trial of 7 days.
